Digital products are often seen as more climate-friendly than physical products. Generally, the production of a digital product requires fewer resources, such as coal, water, and petroleum, than producing a physical product. Additionally, shipping a digital product requires no raw materials or packaging materials. Compared to physical products, digital products have a lower degree of carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation during production. Digital products are also more easily recyclable and can have a less detrimental impact on the environment.
